Chapter 353 The Chu army marches north, pulling the whole world into the water!
"Xiao'er, where's the fish?"
As soon as Ying Chengqiao returned home, he saw Mrs. Han who was full of expectation and holding a wooden pick in her hand.
A blazing bonfire is rising in the yard, with a wooden stand set up on top and condiments placed next to it.
Everything is ready, all we need is fresh fish!
Ying Chengyu smiled awkwardly and said: "Fish..."
"I asked Mr. Changping to take it away, hahaha~"
"I don't want to eat fish today, but I want to eat rabbit!"
Ying Chengyu held up ten hares with both hands, as if he was afraid that Mrs. Han wouldn't see them.
Mrs. Han was slightly startled, then smiled: "Roasted rabbit is also excellent."
Ying Chengyu chuckled and said, "Really? I think so too!"
Handing the rabbit to Han Xun, who was suppressing a smile, Ying Chengyu sat down by the campfire and quickly changed the subject. : "Mr. Changping intends to invite me to Chu."
Mrs. Han raised her eyebrows: "He has a lot on his mind."
For Xiong Qi, Ying Chengyu went to Chu. It's a great thing.
But it is difficult for Ying Chengyu to benefit.
Ying Chengxuan nodded and said: "My son rejected him."
"In addition, Lord Changping also intended to exchange the magistrate of Yueyang County for the magistrate of Anling County."
Mrs. Han did not hesitate. He said without hesitation: "Mr. Changping is already making preparations to enter Chu."
"We only need to see whether the king agrees with this advice, and we will know what the king thinks of Mr. Changping's move."
Anling City is a border city between Qin and Chu, and is close to the upper reaches of Yingshui River. You can go down Yingshui River to Shouchun.
Whether it is to carry out smuggling between Qin and Chu, launch a surprise attack on Shouchun City, or turn against the enemy and become an outpost of the Chu Kingdom, this place is the best choice.
Xiong Qi asked for the position of county magistrate of Anlingcheng in such a hurry, obviously because he was restless.
Ying Chengxiao smiled and said: "So I told you not to care about your attitude, just go to Brother Wang and give him advice."
"If it really can be exchanged for a Yueyang The position of county magistrate is a good thing.”
Mrs. Han smiled happily: “It’s very good!”
"My son is wise!"
Ying Chengyu smiled sheepishly: "Mr. Changping has hardly concealed it. It is not commendable for my son to make such a decision."
Mrs. Han said seriously Said: "You don't need to explain it clearly to Mr. Changping. You can see what Mr. Changping wants. This is already progress!"
Ying Chengyu:? ? ?
Concubine, I suspect you are scolding me!
Mrs. Han smiled and said: "It's okay."
"These things have nothing to do with you and me."
Taking the processed rabbit from Han Xun's hand, Mrs. Han happily He put it on a wooden stick: "What I want to do most now is to taste the rabbit hunted by my son!"
Ying Chengyu also smiled: "In the future, I will often go to the Weishui River to eat. There are many opportunities for fish.”
“But such plump hares are rare”
Mrs. Han smiled and did not expose Ying Chengyu, but changed the subject thoughtfully: "I have borrowed more than three million yuan."
"You can start what you want to do. Done.”
Ying Chengyu handed over his hands in surprise: “Thank you, concubine!”
The next day.
Dozens of knights rushed out of Chang'an Jun's Mansion.
Nearly 10,000 landless and propertyless people from Guizhou gathered openly and openly towards Chang'an Township from Daliang City, Fushi County and Tunliu County.
The local Guizhou leaders in Chang'an Township who were in the slack season were also mobilized by Ying Chengyu.
This winter, Chang'an Township is in full swing!
Compared with the whole world, Chang'an Township is more like a paradise.
Just two months after the death of King Chu Han, King Chu passed away for no reason!
After eradicating all competitors in the country, Young Master Fu Chu successfully ascended the throne and became king!
Young Master Fu Chu’s move to usurp the throne once again dragged down the already collapsed etiquette and music.
It also makes many careerists unable to help but emerge.
If Chu King Han is not the biological son of King Chu Kaolie, this lame reason can support the usurpation of the throne.
Then Wang Jian of Qi and Wang Xi of Yan, who were also born outside, must be the biological sons of the late king?
Zhao Taizi Qian's mother remarried several times, so Zhao Taizi Qian may not necessarily be Zhao Wangyan's son!
Undercurrents began to surge among high-level officials in various countries.
But King Chu quickly quelled the internal strife in Chu, married Zhao and deepened the Chu-Zhao alliance, and other actions, which caused a great change in the world situation.
For a time, a tense atmosphere enveloped the world.
The war is about to break out!
......
In the eleventh year of the Qin Dynasty, it was February 1st.
Xianyang Palace, Imperial Study Room.
The ministers gathered here, all with solemn expressions.
Because the cloud of war has once again enveloped the sky over Da Qin!
On the high platform, Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice:
"Chu Shangzhu and Yan led an army of fifty thousand to the north and stationed in Xiangcheng."
"Chu Zuo Yinhuan led an army of thirty thousand to the north. , stationed at Shangcai. "
"What do you think our great Qin should do?"
Qu Huan's troops and Xiang Yan's troops combined 80,000 troops and marched north to the Qin-Chu border.
Is this a large force?
Compared to the battle last year, the size of this army was not even a partial division.
Is this force considered small?
In the Battle of Yiyang, which allowed Qin to control the dangers of Wei and Han and successfully move eastward from the Central Plains, this was the number of troops sent by Qin and South Korea.
If Chu had more troops, Ying Zheng would not need to be embarrassed and could directly decide to send troops.
If Chu's troops were smaller, Ying Zheng wouldn't need to be in trouble. He could have Chen Cheng and other cities recruit troops on the spot to complete the defense.
However, the number of troops gathered on the border by Chu State this time was at a scale that was neither high nor low.
Wei Liao said in a deep voice: "I think that we should recruit one hundred thousand troops to strengthen the defense of Chencheng."
"Now that our Qin Dynasty has obtained the navy of Wei State, we can use the Ying River as a basis."
"If we are not defeated, we should not give up the Yingshui line." "Besides, the north of Yingshui is a fertile land with abundant grain production. If the Chu army goes north to seize Yingchuan, Dangjun and other counties, Qin will Weak but Chu is strong!”
The Central Plains is really delicious!
Even in Guanzhong, where the Zhengguo Canal has been repaired, its grain output is still not as good as that of the Central Plains.
Only by truly mastering the Central Plains region can Great Qin obtain enough nutrients to support the continuous advancement of this war beast.
For Da Qin, this is a strategic location that cannot be lost unless it cannot be defeated!
Wei Zhuang then spoke: "I believe that while we are increasing our troops in Chencheng to guard against Chu, we cannot relax our guard against Zhao."
"The hatred between Qin and Zhao is far away!"
"In recent years, whenever our country, the Qin Dynasty, has a foreign war, Zhao will always help the enemy."
"And the reason why Chu dares to increase troops on the border must be because it has reached an alliance with Zhao."
“In my opinion, the State of Zhao will soon increase its troops on the border, forcing us, the Qin Dynasty, to increase our troops to counter it.”
"According to King Zhao's temperament, if our border with Daqin is empty, Zhao will not hesitate to tear up the alliance and brazenly send troops to seize several cities!"
Han Cang couldn't help but retort: "Kui Xiang, Guo Wei, you two Do you know what time it is now?”
“It’s just a few days before spring plowing begins!”
“You two want to recruit 160,000 troops to fight at such a critical time? ! ”
“With so much manpower taken away, who will cultivate those acres?”
"How much fertile land will be wasted or even abandoned this year!"
An additional 160,000 troops were sent to the Qinchu border and the Qinzhao border. This not only means that 160,000 young men were taken away.
Given the current baggage transportation conditions and the location of granaries in the Qin Dynasty, nearly 400,000 civilian laborers are needed to transport food for these soldiers!
These corvées may be old people, son-in-laws, or disabled people who are not good at fighting.
But at least they have the strength to farm!
Wei Zhuang shook his head: "It's just a temporary increase of 160,000 troops."
Han Cang just felt relieved when he heard Wei Zhuang continue: "Depending on the change of the situation, there may be more troops in the future."< br>
"Please Han Shangqing make preparations early."
Han Cang immediately became anxious: "Are you going to continue to increase the number of troops?"
"Last year, I fought against Daqin for a year. The fields have been laid waste and the grain harvest has been greatly reduced.”
"The grain reserves in our Great Qin treasury this year are barely sufficient and cannot withstand a war!"
"Can we have a truce for a year?"
"Even if it is lobbying, bribery, or even Isn’t it okay to cede one or two cities in exchange for a year of peace?”
“My Daqin granary is really unbearable!”
Han Cang’s words were filled with sadness and helplessness. .
Han Cang wanted to point his finger at Wei Zhuang and Wei Liao's noses and curse them.
Still fighting?
Hit me!
You guys just don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are!
We are out of food!
Wei Zhuang and Wei Liao were just about to explain to Ying Zheng when they heard Ying Zheng say in a deep voice: "Now the Chu State is increasing its troops on the border. It is false to ask for war, but it is true to threaten."
"What he wants is what he wants. We, the Qin Dynasty, are forced to deploy our young men to guard the border and cannot farm."
"I also think that the State of Zhao may increase its troops on the border to involve the young men of our country, the Qin Dynasty."
"If we, the Qin Dynasty, show weakness. On the contrary, these two countries have seized on our country's weakness."
"Not only will they not withdraw their troops, but they will become more aggressive!"
If Chu and Zhao each sent 100,000 troops to garrison the border, Qin would have to send an additional 200,000 troops to garrison the border, and Qin's supply transportation lines would far exceed Chu's.
Although this move has great disadvantages for the three countries.
But the combined losses suffered by Chu and Zhao were not as great as those suffered by Qin alone.
If things go on like this, the national power of the three countries will naturally be drawn closer.
As for the two countries of Chu and Zhao stationing troops on the border, will Qin not follow suit and increase their troops?
Ha~
The intimidation of Chu and Zhao will quickly turn into a strong attack to seize Qin's territory!
Kui Zhuang and Wei Liao both happily handed over their hands: "Your Majesty Mingjian!"
Han Cang frowned: "Aren't Chu and Zhao afraid that I, Da Qin, will take the initiative to send troops!"
< br>Wei Liao asked quietly: "How much food does our Daqin have?"
In one sentence, Han Cang was speechless.
Da Qin really doesn’t have much food left.
Today’s Great Qin is like a tiger that has just experienced a life-and-death struggle.
The brocade hair is stained with blood, and shreds of flesh are stuffed between the teeth.
Everyone knows that it is not easy to mess with, but it is really tired and out of energy. It must rest for a while before it has the strength to face a new war!
Han Cang asked anxiously: "What is the solution to this strategy?"
"Can it be that our Great Qin can only be so involved by the Chu and Zhao countries!"
Wei Liao said in a deep voice: "I think I , you can ask Qi and Yan to increase their troops on the border to threaten Zhao and Chu."
"In this case, Zhao and Chu not only need to increase their troops to be on guard against our Qin soldiers, but also need to increase their troops to guard against us. Qi and Yan soldiers.”
“Our country, Qin, will certainly be depleted by Chen’s troops on the frontier.”
"But the young people recruited by Zhao and Chu, and the grain and grass consumed by the two countries will be no less than that of our Great Qin."
"In this way, there will be a check and balance!"
The two countries of Chu and Zhao used It's a conspiracy.
Whether Qin sees through it or not, Qin must submit!
But while Qin surrendered, it could choose to make a bigger fuss and drag the whole world down.
Spend it!
The whole world will fight together to see who will be consumed to death first!
